ESP32-C6 is A 1.47-inch display development board with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth

Waveshare has recently introduced the ESP32-C6, a Display Development Board, a microcontroller with a 1.47-inch 172×320 resolution LCD, featuring 262K colors. It is powered by a 160MHz single-core 32-bit RISC-V processor, with an additional low-power 20MHz processor. The board supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth BLE 5, making it ideal for AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) applications. It integrates 4MB Flash memory, 320KB ROM, and 512KB high-power SRAM. Additionally, it has a TF card slot for external storage, multiple IO interfaces for peripheral expansion, an onboard RGB LED, and a ceramic antenna.

This board is suitable for quickly developing HMI (Human-Machine Interface) systems and other ESP32-C6 applications, where low power consumption and high-performance AI computing are required. This board supports GUI programs like LVGL and is designed for various IoT scenarios with reliable security features and peripheral integration options.

Previously, we have written about some more interesting Development Boards like the Sparkfun Pro Micro-RP2350, the RDK X3 Development Board, Lilygo’s T-TWR REV2.1, and much more. Feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topic.
